An ideal activity for a group of friends: a private boat with skipper where you can sunbathe and enjoy a cava to celebrate a special moment together. You will enjoy 3 hours from the most exclusive point of view while sailing with the wind, and you can pilot the boat and participate in all the tasks. This is an unforgettable experience! You have the possibility to bring your own drinks onboard.

We wanted to go sailing while we were in Barcelona but given we would be there in mid October we decided to wait until the week we arrived to book it so we could see what the weather would be. It was an excellent decision as the weather was perfect and unseasonably warm. Looking at the other excursions, I wasn't finding what I wanted. An hour or two with a big packed boat with loud music didn't sound enjoyable. For not much more, we got three full hours alone on our own boat with a skipper. It was perfect.
Victor was our skipper and he was great. Very nice and charismatic. He answered all of our questions and gave us a lot of information about the city. While the weather was warm we didn't have any wind so we just motored up the coast. It felt more like hanging out with friends than a tour. It was great. At one point we stopped to swim and the water was perfectly cool and refreshing but warm enough to stay in all day. It was very clear also. Victor played music and provided us with a bottle of sparkling wine.
While we were stopped, we saw a few America's cup boats that Victor pointed out which was a nice added perk.
The only thing to note is to bring your own towels if you decide to swim. Other than that, the boats are very clean and in great shape, with a bathroom below and a shower hose on the back to rinse the salt off.
We had such a great time that I wouldn't hesitate to do it again next time, but possibly for longer.

A wonderful afternoon, in a clean sailboat, with a wonderful captain (Nico) made a perfect water outing to see city and the sea!
A private outing for five, we were treated to 3 hours of serene sea sailing and sipping, as a bottle of Cava is included. Our captain was capable, charming and informative, giving an informal tour of the shoreline and Barcelona skyline. And be able to take the helm for a while was an added treat for those with a feel for the wind & water...
Everything was safe and relaxing and professional - treat yourself to this very satisfying excursion!

This was a beautiful 3 hours along the coast of Barcelona. They were so accommodating to help get my elderly father into the sail boat, worked perfectly! The weather was beautiful and we loved the views.

That tour was great. However, in your important remarks it said to wear white sole shoes and no sandals. So we went to buy shoes for the sailing tour. We realized on the boat that it was not necessary and Americans with us wore black shoes and sandals! Otherwise, everything was perfect.

A very pleasant and enjoyable cruise. The captain allowed us to get involved in raising the sails and directing the vessel. Excellent views of Barcelona from the sea and time well spent.

We had so much fun! This is a very hands on sail, with plenty of opportunity to "man the helm". My Dad, a seasoned sailor, was in seventh heaven. The views of Barcelona were awesome. After ending the sail we ate the most delicious baby calamari at one of the waterside resteraunts at the marina.

we had a great time. Small group ( 4 + captain) and we all had an opportunity at the helm!
Peaceful and exciting!

The sailing trip was great! 3 hours in a boat with a professional sailing team, wind and sun, beautiful city views, sea and a friendly captain! He tried to keep us involved in the process, so we enjoyed the trip a lot.
However, I would not recommend the sailing trip to those who have seasickness.

Beautiful experience however our guide did not have very good English skills which made communication a bit difficult. Especially in a small group where u want that conversation to flow.

This was a great, unique experience in Barcelona that I will never forget. I would suggest that this tour is better for people with a little bit of sailing experience, as our group of novices was definitely not prepared for the adventure we had on this tour. Our guide was great though, patient and enjoyable to talk to. He taught us the ropes, and showed us some sights while we sailed around the harbor (the open water was too choppy and windy!). I'd definitely suggest if you're interested or know sailing, and want to see Barcelona from a very different way!
